Then Alice heard some noise.She looked around and saw a mouse swimming nearby.
"Excuse me, Mouse," she said."Do you know the way out of this pool?"
The mouse looked at her, but it didn't say anything.
"Maybe it doesn't know English," she thought."I'll try French." Alice knew only the first lesson in her French textbook, so she said that.
"Où est mon chat?" she asked.
The mouse jumped out of the water in fear(恐惧地).
"Oh," Alice thought."I asked the wrong thing.I asked it‘Where is my cat?' and mice are afraid(害怕的) of cats."
"I am sorry," she said to the mouse."I forgot you don't like cats."
"Would you like cats if you were a mouse?" the mouse said angrily.
"Perhaps not," Alice answered."But I'm sure you'd like my pet, Dinah.She's beautiful and very clever at catching...Oops! Sorry.I nearly said the wrong thing.We won't talk about Dinah any more.What about dogs?"
But the mouse began swimming away.
"Come back, please," Alice said."I won't talk about cats or dogs any more."
Slowly the mouse swam back to her.
"All right," it said."Come with me to the shore(岸), and I'll tell you why I don't like cats or dogs."
